Tasting Notes
Kujira Ryukyu 20 Year Japanese Whisky is a remarkable spirit that defies conventions. Crafted from Indica rice and meticulously aged for two decades in bourbon casks, this single grain whisky offers a delightful departure from traditional malts. The aroma entices with hints of toasted cereal grains and a buttery richness. On the palate, it delivers a sumptuous symphony of flavors, with salted caramel, pastry crust, and honeyed oats dancing on the tongue. The brown butter notes provide a sublime balance, rounding out the sweet grains for a sip that is both full-flavored and incredibly smooth. This innovative whisky from Kumesen Syuzo, a distillery renowned for its Awamori production, has garnered accolades from prestigious competitions, earning gold medals and high scores for its exceptional quality.
